Jones High School

JHS SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS THAT HAVE INTEREST IN ENGINEERING FIELD> SEE Information below from OU's College of Engineering about some upcoming opportunities for you My name is Dalton Brasington, and I am the Director of Outreach and Recruitment here at the Gallogly College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. I wanted to reach out this morning to share a great opportunity for rising high school juniors and seniors (graduating in 2026 or 2027) to learn more about engineering and higher education. Engineering Days are one-day, on-campus, summer programs taught by OU Engineering faculty and broken down into specific academic majors or content areas. These are days for students to come and learn about different engineering programs through hands-on experiments and demonstrations and working with OU faculty and students. Each day has a fee of $25, to cover the cost of supplies and food – and each day is capped at around 50 students. Students are welcome to sign-up for as many days as they are available for. After a day is full, it will no longer allow students to register for it – so if a student is interested in some of our larger dates – like mechanical, aerospace, biomedical and chemical engineering – we encourage them to register as soon as they can. Students can learn more online at: https://www.ou.edu/coe/explore/k-12-outreach/engineering-days Applications open on March 31, and will close on April 30.

As part of Ms. Bennington's Honors Sophomore English course, students were invited to submit a poem to the Oklahoma Poetry Contest. Each grade level, from kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as an adult category, was assigned a different Oklahoma symbol to write about. The 10th grade focus was the bison. Hadley Waller earned 1st place in the 10th grade category, which awarded her a $75 cash prize. Additionally, she received the Overall Grand Prize, surpassing all other grade levels and the adult category (over 600 poems), resulting in an additional $100 prize!
